Harry James B2B Stella Z, Live from The Gun -  19 July 2024

A live recording from vinyl only session with Kotki @ ABO, Kyiv. 

We warmed up the event with deeper tunes and added a pinch of trance and a dash of techno.

Feedback from a fellow music journalist:

'This set is slightly different than all the previous ones. It is very lyrical, atmospheric, sensual. And - as always - it's great to feel the intrigue of what awaits next, very unexpected turns in genres and moods. And I emphasize that these turns, although unexpected, happen naturally and easily. 

I really like the whole palette of moods in this mix - there is some isolation and detachment, but there is also a certain cheerful lightness when there is no drama but enjoyment of the moment and those with whom you share it. There are a lot of "deeper" fragments in which not much seems to be happening, but the sound itself, its fullness, and its atmosphere are as high as possible, and no unnecessary movement distracts from them. 

I often get lost while listening to music, wondering, "What genre is this?" "What does it sound like?" And at some point, it doesn't matter at all because the main thing is that it's engaging and diverse — and this movement from one mood to another is very aesthetic; it has smoothness and details that I, as a musician, find very interesting to listen to (decipher).

Also, at 1:43, I felt like I was in the Closer club, in his best times.'

London-based underground DJ and avid record collector, Oliver, left a lasting impression on one of our co-founders during a recent set at the renowned club ‘FOLD’ in London. So much so, that we felt compelled to invite him to feature in our mix series. The result? A flawless 90-minute blend of relentless party musik and high-energy prog — just the way we like it. Eat up!

Live from Opium club 13: Donatas Chipak

Welcome to the latest version of Dream Software's: Virtual Utopia. The tenth update has been programmed by none other than Don Chich (@donchich), a core member of the corporation - that is, and always will be, close to the heart of the label. The southern hemispheres connoisseur of fine trance (and beyond) never fails to impress with his depth of knowledge, ability to synthesisiacally create detailed imagery in the minds of listeners, and his understanding of pace and progression throughout a set that keeps your desires and expectations in a harmonic symbiosis. Alex is a true creative in sonic storytelling, and this one is a timeless novel.

You plug in and feel the familiar sensation of shifting sensory alignment, preparing you for the program you're about to experience. As the landscape renders realtime and your retinas refocus you eventually make sense of what's in front of you. You accept the safety conditions and enter the program.  A dust-covered voyage through lands of future-past, heavy duty steel panels fitted together to the latest interstellar corporations safety 'standards' line the floor as pathways, half covered by orange sand. The panelwork extends to the external walls of buildings, doors, warehouses, and even vehicles - it must be something to do with the pressure or gravity on this planet? Extreme weather? It's hard to be sure. Either way you board a vehicle that feels as if it's waiting for you; the 30cm thick steel door slides closed behind you with a satisfying pneumatic locking system. An increasing drone of engines reaching power vibrate underneath you, the engines stabilise, and the vehicle slowly heads towards the sky, a heavy orange fog, ascending into a distant unknown.

Endless shimmering displays of various gas clouds, exhibiting far more than the visible light spectrum, populate your peripheral vision as you approach a distant quadrant of the net of reality. Constellations you've only seen and heard of through the Ethernet drift by as you allow the gravitational pull of the local solar systems to steer you through this section of deep space. A metallic asteroid being guided through the expanse of existence. Velocity increases as the sizes and number of planets do; light begins to bend in ways you throught unimaginable, layers of reality slowly tear away like burning holes through paper, and as the pace increases, what's revealed below seems impercievable to anything that exists on a dimension lower than it. It felt like a realm of vibrational egalitarianism emitting a pure omnibenevolence and omniscience that made you feel calm and at peace, an entity that felt familiar yet incomprehensible at the same time.

A computerised female voice explains it's time to turn around and head back to the initial coordinate of the program, and due to the rapid expansion of this part of space we must travel at warp speed to counter-act it. As the GForce increases the outside becomes a true spectacle; photons bending and stretching past you as the mechanics of physics become a series of unanswered questions, the phenomenology of 'now' proves the metaphysicality of existence is just as real as the physical. The vibrational information stored beyond of the quarks of existence is now visible to the naked eye and shares secret formulas of nature's code, only perceivable when you realise there is nothing to percieve.

Powering through the dark expanse at such speeds unveils the fracticality of existence. The mathematics of nature is all based on fractal equations and common series' of organic 'numerical' systems which are processed without the desire to categorise or understand. All of this information is embedded within the nucleus of every atom at a vibrational level. Does this mean music is somewhat a language of nature? Is the never ending, fractally peripheral progression of this program an understanding into natures way of doing? Or is this all something we are all too physical to understand?

Virtual Utopia 10: Don Chich

It would seem that there was something in the water in Italy during the tail end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s. We recently highlighted this via our recent Free Download artist, but another Italian artist who is just as influential is Francesco Farfa. Incredibly, he was already a working DJ by the early 80s and that was before the age of electronic music. This just meant when the advent of drum machines dawned across the music spectrum Francesco was already armed to the teeth with skills honed playing funk and disco when early proto-house began filtering through to Europe. This melding of sounds and technique has produced an incredibly moorish combination of dark, brooding electro, stripped back for minimal or maximal floors, a better word can be used to describe it all - timeless. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-202-francesco-farfa/]
